Probably someone outside of Europe, that was Commodores main market. Especially the Amiga generation.

No, in our calendar system there was year 1 BC followed by year 1 AD. So no zero. It’s just how they set it up, they’re human made ideas anyway. Many countries do not even use this system, for example it is currently year 2567 in Thailand and year 113 in North Korea.

I see. Thanks for explaining. So which do you like the most so far?

What’s the point? Aren’t most of them connected anyway? If not then the fragmentation is a real problem. I mean, who has the time or energy to click through dozens of websites which all serve the same or similar purpose?

Females are an overwhelming majority on Instagram.

Those aren’t available to register anymore though, are they?

I don’t use any service that requires a phone number, which even does that anymore? I guess Facebook, Instagram, Twitter? That’s surely just to track you. It is very easy to spoof a mobile number, the regular old confirm security code per email works just as well. Or just do email register + 2fa with an authenticator app or passkey.

There are better ways to confirm someone is a human. If they would not just want to gather personal user data instead, which apparently is the case.

Why the fuck do they require my phone number to register? No thanks.

I have never heard of Primewire but there were a bunch of movie/tv show streaming websites about a decade ago with direct streaming (like movie2k/movie4k) but they got busted HARD and IIRC the people behind them got long prison sentences.

Just this week I read the authorities had confiscated cryptocurrency valued at around 2 billion (!) euros from one of them currently still in jail.

It’s not more risky than torrenting yourself, it is just not risk free. If you live in a country where torrenting is safe: great for you! It’s not like that everywhere.

Regarding the entire issue: Usenet and Debrid are extremely uncommon and “underground” compared to regular torrents or direct downloads. The lobby does not have infinite resources so they target the big and easy to catch fish. Just harvesting torrent IPs and suing individuals with zero knowledge of defending themselves is super easy.

They didn’t, the community edition existed before Adobes purchase.

Creating a burner email would take a tenth of the time it took you writing this post.

Cola and red wine (Calimocho) is a pretty common drink, at least in Europe. It’s not as gross as it sounds.

For iOS the only one that can do swipe right to go back anywhere on the screen is LiftOff. It’s a crucial feature for me so there are sadly no alternatives.

Wow. If this isn’t a perfect example of the possible problems with federated networks I don’t know what is.

I’m still for it of course. But it has to be done right and this is far from that.

I really liked season one but stopped watching when the melted face bald guy stuff started, dunno if that was the second season maybe. By then everything was just too much trying too hard-cringe and I had to stop.

You misunderstand, this is not the issue here. It is just not made for torrents and they hurt/break the network.

That was my point. Also BSD is not true Unix, it is Unix-like. Only Unix is Unix.

rTorrent “UNIX only” and c-tier. That says all you need to know about this list.
